The command line option `no387' is designed to disable the FPU
entirely. This only 'works' with CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION enabled.
But on 64bit this cannot work because user space expects SSE to work which
required basic FPU support. MATH_EMULATION does not help because SSE is not
emulated.
The command line option `nofxsr' should also be limited to 32bit because
FXSR is part of the required flags on 64bit so turning it off is not
possible.
Clearing X86_FEATURE_FPU without emulation enabled will not work anyway and
hang in fpu__init_system_early_generic() before the console is enabled.
Setting additioal dependencies, ensures that the CPU still boots on a
modern CPU. Otherwise, dropping FPU will leave FXSR enabled causing the
kernel to crash early in fpu__init_system_mxcsr().
With XSAVE support it will crash in fpu__init_cpu_xstate(). The problem is
that xsetbv() with XMM set and SSE cleared is not allowed. That means
XSAVE has to be disabled. The XSAVE support is disabled in
fpu__init_system_xstate_size_legacy() but it is too late. It can be
removed, it has been added in commit

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
